Black ICEolator = good stuff!

Not much to say than hasnt already been said...

13MM ratchet wrench made the rear bolt removal an easy process

Used Permatex The Right Stuff Gray. Not very experienced with it so naturally I made a bit of a mess. (I am a bit concerned because when I put the intake back on Im pretty sure it smeared and some make its way into the intake itself)

No CELS...

The car definitely feels stronger...best way I can describe it is that the car feels much less "restricted" when accelerating...hit the gas and the car just responds instantly...no hesitation.

Hands down the single most noticeable improvement from a mod.

Its so rare for a product to deliver on the claims made by the manufacturer...this one definitely did.

I agree a hundred percent. Im usually really skeptical by nature but I definitly can feel this one. But now I need a new mod, lol power hungry, need some low end. Hoping the MACE Plenum spacer will do the trick

Honestly the install is not too bad.. follow this thread.. But you DO NOT have to port match anything.. I used this one to install my Black ICE..
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...t+matching+LLT

For sure, the back bolts are the hardest part to get out.. after that everything is pretty much simple...

Where in the east coast are you located?? pretty sure if you need extra help anyone close to you would be willing to give you a hand

Yeah much easier then I thought. Had I had a flex ratchet, it would've been a joke
Just make sure you have the right tools and it really isn't hard at all

I like my Black Ice. Wasn't sure for the 1st week but after my car's computer aclimated to it yeah I can tell. We have a lot of curvy roads in Branson and if I want to kick the tail out in 2nd gear I can.
